The previous GTD Pro winner at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park confirmed that the #64 Ford Multimatic Motorsports GT3 driver apologized for causing contact with the #3 Corvette after outbraking himself into Turn 3. Despite being put into the gravel trap, Sims was able to continue at the back of the field after receiving assistance from track marshals. Sims acknowledged that the incident was a mistake and that there was no malicious intent, emphasizing that mistakes happen in racing. The Corvette held up well despite the impact, allowing Sims to finish the race in fifth position.

Despite the less than ideal outcome of finishing fifth after starting on the front row, Sims praised the team’s effort in recovering from the incident and expressed readiness to move on to the next race.
